Boo-hoo, I'm Going to Starve to Death

This dramatic scene.

Ye Lingling, who was standing next to her, was completely stunned.

Her mouth gaped slightly in disbelief, her eyes wide.

The fierce-looking Spirit Hall Guard Knights were just moments ago suddenly made way without uttering a Jade Pendant after seeing the Yan Yan took out?

What kind of Jade Pendant is Yan Yan holding?

Actually, let alone Ye Lingling.

Even Dugu Yan herself was quite surprised at this moment.

He blinked, looked at the Jade Pendant in his hand, and then at the two Hall Guard Knights who respectfully stepped aside.

I never imagined this Jade Pendant was actually this powerful!

Can people ascend Spirit Mountain without any obstacles?

Just how powerful is Qian Renchuan?

But soon, Dugu Yan was overjoyed after realizing what had happened.

He quickly and carefully put the Jade Pendant back close to his body, then pulled Ye Lingling, who was still in a daze, back to her feet.

"Come on, Lingling, let's hurry up the mountain!"

It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance up Spirit Mountain that Ye Lingling finally came to her senses and couldn't help but ask curiously,

"Yan Yan, what kind of Jade Pendant did you just take out?"

"Why are those Spirit Hall's Hall Guard Knights so terrified of it, like they've seen a ghost?"

"Hey-hey."

"This is a precious gift my mother left me."

Dugu Yan was quite arrogant upon hearing this.

He took the Jade Pendant out again, caressed it for a moment with obvious affection, and then carefully handed it to Ye Lingling.

My mother said that as long as I have this Jade Pendant...

"The Spirit Hall has unimpeded access."

Ye Lingling was even more surprised upon hearing this.

"Your mother?"

"Is your mother some important figure in the Spirit Hall?"

Mentioning her mother, Dugu Yan became dejected again, and earnestly explained,

"How could that be? My mother isn't a member of the Spirit Hall."

"It was someone my mother met by chance when she was working outside."

"This Jade Pendant was given to my mother by that person himself."

At this point, recalling the contents of her mother's letter, Dugu Yan's tone became even more excited.

My mom said so.

"If I encounter any difficulties that I can't solve, I can take this Jade Pendant and come directly to the Spirit Hall to find him!"

He will definitely help me!

Only after hearing this did Ye Lingling finally react.

Goodness!

After all that, it turns out I was completely tricked into coming up the mountain by that little girl, Dugu Yan!

Yan Yan is clearly using the excuse of coming to play to go up the mountain to find someone!

But even though that's what I thought in my heart.

But Ye Lingling was, after all, only a three-year-old girl.

Moreover, people are now already standing on the mountain path leading to Spirit Mountain.

Looking at the amazing buildings and scenery that are rarely seen in ordinary times, I was also very interested in Spirit Mountain.

So the two little girls quickly put all those messy things out of their minds and started skipping and jumping on the mountain path.

"Wow wow wow."

"Lingling, look quickly, look over there!"

"That fountain is so high!"

Wow, are those houses over there made of gold?

Everything around them was incredibly new and fascinating; everything seemed interesting and fun.

But Spirit Mountain is simply too big.

The steps leading to the upper level seemed to stretch on forever.

Even if two three-year-old girls are very excited, their energy is ultimately limited.

We've only climbed a short distance.

As the initial excitement wore off, their pace slowed down.

"Huff... huff..."

Dugu Yan bent over, her hands supporting her knees, her face flushed, panting heavily with her tongue lolling out.

"No, Lingling, I really want to go back."

Ye Lingling, who was standing next to her, was so exhausted that she plopped down on the ground and burst into tears, which streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.

"Waaaaah..."

"The mountain is too high, I don't want to climb it anymore..."

"Waaah, I want to go back too, Yan Yan..."

"I'm so hungry..."

I miss my mom...

"Waaaaah..."

They're just two or three-year-old children.

Even in a world like Douluo Continent, being able to travel such a distance, especially while climbing a hill, is already quite impressive.

Now the two little puddings are really too tired to walk anymore.

Ye Lingling felt especially wronged.

This trip of hers.

It could be said that he was outmaneuvered by Dugu Yan.

That's why they came all the way up Spirit Mountain. Now they're tired and hungry, so of course they feel wronged.

Hearing Ye Lingling's aggrieved cries.

Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

I felt extremely regretful, my eyes were red, and I felt like crying.

Why is Spirit Mountain so high?

They had been climbing for so long, and it felt like the steps had no end.

And why is there nobody around?

This is so agonizing.

However, compared to Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan's personality is stronger.

Finally, I just sniffed.

She forcefully held back her tears, grabbed Ye Lingling's wrist, and pulled her upwards.

"Lingling, don't cry, let's keep going up."

"You're sure to run into people up there."

"Then we'll have something to eat."

"I promise, I'll get you something delicious as soon as I see someone."

Hearing Dugu Yan's assurance, Ye Lingling, who was sobbing, was somewhat skeptical.

But at this moment, he could only let Dugu Yan lead him step by step as they continued to climb the mountain.

But as we walked and walked...

They then realized something was wrong.

Why is this road getting more and more remote?

The surrounding trees also became increasingly lush.

The tall tree canopy blocked out all the sunlight, causing the two little puddings to look around curiously.

But there wasn't even a building to be seen.

Hmm.

"Yan Yan, are we lost?"

Ye Lingling was extremely nervous.

Dugu Yan was actually quite panicked, but she still mustered her courage and looked around.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

But just then, a faint commotion came from afar ahead.

That sound.

It sounds like there are many people talking.

The two little girls' eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the voice.

Dugu Yan was overjoyed.

"Lingling, listen!"

There's someone over there!

He quickly pulled Ye Lingling and ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

Fortunately, they were lucky; after passing through the Woods, they realized that they had seemingly stumbled into the Back Mountain area of the Spirit Academy by accident.

And in a clearing in the woods not far away.

Between two large trees.

It turned out to be a hammock.

On the hammock, a boy who didn't look much older than them was lying comfortably.

A book was still covering the boy's face.

Very relaxed.

This scene immediately gave the two hungry little ones hope.

"Let's go ask for directions."

"While we're at it, let's ask if there's anything to eat, then we'll go to the Spirit Academy's cafeteria to find something, and then we'll talk about going down the mountain."

But just as they got closer, when they were only a dozen steps away from the hammock...

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, two small figures appeared in the distance, blocking their path.

"Stop!"

"Don't come near!"
